CRKT M21 Special Forces with Aluminum Handles
Item #: CL-M2114SF
$89.95
After the success of CRKT's M16 Special Forces series, they received requests from professional knife users in the military and law enforcement for the larger "Big Dog" size with a more versatile blade shape. CRKT talked to the designer of the series, retired Sergeant Major and Knifemakers' Guild member Kit Carson, and M21 SF is the result.
The blade is similar in shape to the Carson M21, but with the addition of a second Carson Flipper on the top, resulting in a true hilt. The blade grind is a deep-bellied spear point, which leaves an exceptionally strong full-width spine, which extends down 80% of the blade length.
The blade has Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edge maximum versatility when cutting through rope, cord, underbrush or netting.
Blade steel is premium AUS-8 stainless steel, which offers an optimal combination of strength, toughness and edge-holding ability. A black titanium nitride blade coating protects against corrosion and gives a low-reflectance finish.
The M21-SF also features CRKT's exclusive patented AutoLAWKS™ safety, which automatically turns the folders into fixed blades when the blade is opened and locked. Release the LAWKS lever, release the locking liner, and it folds to an easily carried length. You have the advantages of a fixed blade without the disadvantage of a costly sheath carry system.
AutoLAWKS still allows the quick and smooth one-hand opening and closing that the Carson series is known for, the result of precision tolerance and Teflon® bearings. The ambidextrous thumb studs with checkered surfaces provide instant access in any circumstance. Click here to see

The CRKT production aluminum frame SF's are based on Kit Carson's custom designs, with contoured handles of textured, black, hard anodized 6061 T6 aluminum, with a perimeter radius for comfortable grip with or without gloves. Stainless steel locking liners with friction grooves give positive locking.
Each knife comes with two stainless steel black Teflon-plated clothing/gear clips, extra screws and a torx® tool, allowing four-position carry on belts or webbing, tip up, tip down, left or right.
The M21-SF is a true advance in tactical locking liner folders, and is also an outstanding value."
